If you walsted into a shop, and saw two relatively similar consoles, except one had a VHS player strapped to it that you had to pay a premium for, which one would you buy? |
Of course they wanted Sony to fail. But that's not enough of a reason to get them to risk an entire division's profitability over a format war where they stand to make little or no money from it in the long run.
